The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Doing just one thing, every day, for yourself, is unselfish. Today will hold many things. Some will be expected and predictable while others will be unplanned and variable. Today will be a day. You have the ability to make certain choices that will direct your day, influence it, and could change your experience in any number of ways. Practicing mindfulness and being aware, in the moment, of your thoughts, feelings, and actions can take any given day and alter its
Thoughts and feelings are changeable. Whatever you are thinking and feeling is yours, and yours alone, and there is positivity in your power to change them as you desire. Today is a grey and chilly day. As I sit here at my desk, pondering what to write about, drinking my 3rd mug of coffee, I am feeling some trepidation and dis-ease. It’s not that I am feeling negative – I just am not feeling a topic in the positivity realm
Opinions are like assholes…everybody has them, and many smell like crap. But you can also wash them and wipe them clean. It is my opinion that consciousness creates reality. I believe that the practice of mindfulness and becoming aware of what you are thinking and what and how you are feeling is how you become conscious for reality creation. It’s my opinion that positivity raises your inherent energy levels and opens you up to finding and creating new and better
Saying No is a matter of self-care and empowerment for your life. No is not necessarily negative. This can be an odd concept to wrap your head around, but recognizing the incredible positivity in saying No can open you up to a lot of potential and possibilities. How can No possibly not be negative? This is a misunderstanding of a word that in and of itself has a simple meaning, but that gets turned into a much broader, bigger, powerful
There is Incredible Positivity in Compliments These are fundamental building blocks of empowerment that tend to be underused. You are amazing. I think you are awesome. You make me smile. I love seeing you. You inspire me. I think you look fantastic. You are clever and creative. I am really happy to have you in my life! Why is it so hard for people to offer up compliments? For real, how did this become so difficult? Criticism? No problem, you
Finding common ground is an excellent way to develop pathways of positivity. Do you like feeling negative? Does anyone actually prefer to feel angry, frustrated, sad, distressed, and unhappy? I know don’t…and based on an utterly unscientific analysis of my friends, I really think that, generally, nobody does. The world is overflowing with various entities finding and creating divisions among people. Whether physical or not, pretty much all divisions among people are completely artificial. Sure, there are different genders, skin
Be cause life is unpredictable, what you know or think you know can change drastically. Recently my friends and I have experienced an almost unbelievable amount of life changes. Before we knew it, a great many of the things we knew changed, and changed drastically. This has been emotional, disturbing, and incredibly difficult to wrap one’s head around. It has been a highly surrealistic example of how much life is unpredictable. What you know at this moment as the reality
Finding positivity in the moment Nobody can be positive all the time, but moments of positivity can be a tremendous boost on your psyche. Why do I write about positivity every week? Because negativity is all too easy to come across, and difficult to resist. Do I believe you should never feel negative? No. Shit happens. There are days where life sucks. Bad things occur, people get sick and die, friends turn on you – and that’s just the
There are many times where options for restarting or starting anew offer you an opportunity to find or create positivity. Today is the start of the Jewish New Year. L’Shana Tovah to all of those who celebrate. Like the Gregorian New Year that we celebrate every January 1st, this day presents a specific opportunity to begin anew, make a fresh start, and as such to find and/or create some new positivity in your life. You get any number of calendar
How I will feel today is up to me It is totally my decision whether positivity or negativity will prevail. Every single day is new and different from the day before. No matter how much of a routine you may have, no two days are alike. Why does that matter? Because it means that every day is a choice. How you will feel today is wholly and entirely up to you to decide. Frankly, I think that’s awesome. Why? Because
